[Night. An encampment of Moroccan troops on the edge of the
desert. Watchfires, with SOLDIERS resting by them.]
A SLAVE [enters, tearing his hair].
Gone is the Emperor’s milk-white charger!
ANOTHER SLAVE [enters, rending his garments].
The Emperor’s sacred robes are stolen!
AN OFFICER [enters].
A hundred stripes upon the foot-soles
for all who fail to catch the robber!
[The troopers mount their horses, and gallop away in every
direction.]
